Pubs:Durham’s selection of pubs is slightly more varied than its club-life, with most of the busiest on Silver Street and North Road. If you want cheap drinks then the chain-pubs are your best bet, particularly the Wetherspoon’s on North Road. Chase (Elvet Bridge), meanwhile, is possibly the most popular of all Durham bars, with its chic interior, in-house DJ and infamous fishbowls (containing 12 shots!).durham limo hire
But if you’re after a bit of character you might prefer The Victoria (Halgarth Street), famed for its real ales and whiskies, or alternatively the homely atmosphere of the Shakespeare (Saddler Street) and the Dun Cow (Old Elvet). limos durham
The dungeon-cum-bar that is Jimmy Allen’s (Elvet Bridge) also provides a unique setting lacking in most chain-pubs, as does Vennels (Saddler Street), a café by day but chic wine bar by night.
Other popular drinking-holes include Durham’s main sports pub, the New Inn (Stockton Road), the recently refurbished Hide (Saddler Street) and the ever-popular Varsity (Silver Street)
